Chad Ochocinco never had to strike a plea deal on anything criminal.

Terrell Owens has never been on probation.

But Hines Ward has, but no one will mention it.

Hines Ward better stay out of trouble for the next 12 months … ’cause the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver has been sentenced to a year of probation stemming from his 2011 DUI arrest.

Ward was sentenced to 12 months probation, 80 hours of community service and ordered to submit to an alcohol evaluation and any treatment suggested by the evaluators.

Wonder if this will be anywhere near the top stories on PTI, ATH or Sportscenter?

I have had sex outside one time back when I was at The Ohio State University.

In the movies it always looks passionate and wild, in reality the grass and other assorted things on the ground makes it bit uncomfortable, so after I did it once that was enough for me.

But……….

Warren Moon’s ex couldn’t wait to get back to a bedroom so her and her mate decided to get it in on a trail, it was all good until the police got involved.

Felicia Moon, the ex-wife of former Houston football great Warren Moon, was arrested and charged with public lewdness Monday at a rodeo trail-ride camp.

Felicia Moon, 55, and the man she was with, James Thomas, 50, were allegedly caught engaging in a sex act.

I am pretty sure I know what the sex act was, but I digress.

Good to know that the former Mrs. Moon has kept her freak level on high even at the age of 55.

Not a bad looking mugshot.

Some of you youngins won’t remember this, but many moons ago BET had R Kelly and Aaliyah (RIP) on one of their video shows called Video Soul.

They wore matching outfits on the set.

At my very young age it didn’t mean anything to me, when I got older and realized she was minor and they were married at the time it became really creepy.

So any time a couple wears anything matching it makes me think back to that creepy moment.

Nice ring by the way Miss Jackson.

The buzz will not go down unless the Knicks start to go into the tank.

If anything, in this shorten season and with the strong possibility the Knicks will creep up in the playoff standings the buzz might get bigger.

I am not sure how many athletes have ever gotten back to back covers in SI, but I know it hasn’t been many. Some people are peeved at the attention Lin is getting, but like I said on a radio appearance the other day, it was a perfect storm that came together just at the right time.

These type of things happen in sports all the time, but as we become more advance in social media and various ways to spread our opinions and news, once something catches fire it is going to burn everything around it.

Right now Jeremy Lin is the The Torch.

Poor guy.

Not sure if I ever seen anything quite like this.  I was told the kickboxer was trying to do a flying switch-kick and failed miserably.

He is ok now, so you can feel free to laugh.

And here I thought Edmondson was more of a NFL Chick.

Since the beginning of time baseball players and playboy models have went together like Lebron and 7x headbands, so no one should be really surprised by this.

At least if you date a Playboy model you can check out the goods before driving the car.  It is like online shopping.  The big homies at Larry Brown Sports has all the details.

“Yes, we are dating,” Longoria said according to the Tampa Bay Times. “It’s been a secret for long enough; it’s not really been a secret,  but nobody has asked about it. We are dating.”

“I don’t even think of her like that,” he said when someone reminded him that he’s now dating Playboy’s Miss January 2010 and a former Miami Dolphins cheerleader. “She’s actually more informed on sports. She did a fantasy football blog the whole year, and she does a show on Sirius satellite radio. So it’s pretty cool to be able to talk to somebody on that level outside of the whole modeling thing.”

I don’t know if i would want my lady to be more informed about sports than me, but I digress.

I give Longoria points for trying to convince us it wasn’t the fact she was a Playboy model that initially attracted his interest.  He gets an “A” for effort on that one.

Thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Coach Tom Martinez died Tuesday on his 66th birthday, suffering a heart attack during a dialysis treatment.

Martinez became known for his work with Tom Brady, who worked with the coach since 1992, when a then 15-year-old Brady was brought by his father to him for instruction.

Dana White is a smart guy.

He should know that all this is doing is making Mayweather’s fight with Miguel Cotto even bigger.  It doesn’t matter what you say about Mayweather as long as you are speaking about him it is making him more money.

Here is what White had to say.

First of all, what he said I think was racist. He’s made a couple of racist comments and, yes, Floyd, you’re racist with the stuff that you’ve said. First of all, Jeremy Lin gets all of this credit because he’s an Asian player in the NBA that African Americans never get? Yeah. He’s getting all this praise because he’s an Asian guy playing in the NBA. You say that African Americans don’t get it? Really, Kobe Bryant doesn’t get any praise? Michael Jordan never got any praise? The list goes on and on of the guys who completely get praised for being great NBA basketball players. Not only can he compete and make it in the NBA, the guy is tearing it up and is breaking records, you knucklehead. OK?

The Money Team responds.

“He needs to shut the [expletive] up and mind his own business, stay in his own lane and keep on taking advantage of the UFC fighters, while underpaying them,” Ellerbe told Yahoo! Sports after learning of White’s rant. “If he keeps on running his mouth, we may decide to give a free seminar to all of the UFC fighters on how the pay-per-view revenue should be distributed. This is typical Dana, who is always prone to ignorant outbursts. He should be the last person to try to judge someone else.”

UFC does make great matchups, so you don’t see what is happening with Mayweather and Pacquiao happen too often in the UFC, but the fighters are underpaid for the revenue they generate and the risks they take.

Mayweather isn’t a racist, he is a master manipulator and currently the biggest Villain in sports.

He laid the trap and people are falling right in.

Jeremy Lin may have went to Harvard, but when it comes to the Power of the P, Luther Campbell has a Doctorate Degree.  So, Lin would be wise to listen to the words of wisdom of Uncle Luke.

This isn’t just good advice for Lin, but men in general.

Lin isn’t ready for the power of the coochie. He’s no Tim Tebow. Why do I say that? First of all, Lin has a Harvard degree and Tebow got his college education at the University of Florida. That’s like comparing a rocket scientist to a Honda mechanic. Also, Tebow has won a collegiate national title and the Heisman Trophy, so he’s used to girls testing his decision to stay a virgin until marriage.

But Lin was just another unknown D-leaguer before breaking out this season. He’s not used to the headlines and babes fawning all over him. Until recently, he was sleeping on his brother’s couch and couldn’t have gotten laid in Rio de Janeiro during Carnaval. Last week, I’m sure he had every fine model who strutted the catwalk during New York Fashion Week waiting for him outside Madison Square Garden.

Then two years down the road, Gisele’s clone will divorce Jeremy because he has turned into a sex maniac like Tiger Woods. Lin will be on the cover of the National Enquirer, naked, at some wild orgy featuring foreign NBA players like Tony Parker and Dirk Nowitzki. And his pretty model wife will walk away with half his fortune and endorsement deals.

I can not stress the Mike Jones …who….Mike Jones lyrics enough.

“Back then they didn’t want me, now I’m hot they all on me”

I don’t care what day, what time or what place…………

I’M THERE!!!

If you aren’t fascinated about the multiple possible outcomes of a Mike Tyson one man show, you aren’t human.

“It will be raw. Nothing will be held back. He’s not going to shrink from the problems he’s faced and the battles he’s fought professionally and personally. It will be unfiltered, and he’ll tell it like it is,” one of Mike’s pals confirmed. “The project has the full blessing of his wife Lakiha and their family.”

Mike is so committed to the honesty of his new headliner show that he’ll also answer questions from the audience at the end of each show before meeting fans for autographs and photos. The theater should be officially announced this week, with tickets going on sale for the March debut of “Tyson: the Raw Truth.”

Can I get my ticket right now?

I want to front row center, well maybe not front row………….

THE HUMP got under the Knicks skin during the Nets victory last night at the Garden. Knicks fan and fans in general have been giving Humphries a hard time this year because of his short lived marriage to Kim Kardashian.

But Jeremy Lin is a man of peace and he wanted to THE HUMP to know that what the fans are doing to him is crap.

“I saw him in the tunnel outside the locker room after the game,” Humphries said during a Tuesday afternoon appearance on ESPN Radio’s “The Scott Van Pelt Show.”

“He’s a really nice guy,” said Humphries, who met Lin at an autograph signing in Los Angeles at the All-Star Game last year. “He just said, ‘Hey, I don’t know why they boo you, but I think it’s crap, and you’re playing really well.’ That was nice of him to say. He’s a really nice guy. … It’s nice to see great things happen for nice people.”

THE HUMP has embraced his role as a villain and I believe it has made him a better player on the court and I think he strategically put out this information just to twist the knife a little more for Knicks fan.

Listen………..

I don’t believe anything in the WWE is real (except Wayne Barrett’s breaking his arm last night), but if this is fake, CM Punk is doing a really good job, but I still think it is a work.

After he and Breezy got into a Twitter beef the other night, Punk had went silent (WWE CM Punk Wants to Fight Chris Brown at Wrestlemania, Breezy Replies With Ether).

Not anymore.

Breezy should take him up on his challenge and Rihanna should perform “CAKE” at Wrestlemania.

I can see the wheels spinning in Vince McMahon’s head right now.

You know what is coming……………………

They should make a movie about JR Smith’s time over in China, if I would have thought about it, I would have hopped on the BSO Jet and filmed it all myself.

I would have made a lot more than the $1 million JR lost in salary.

Our friend Mrs. NBA has all the details.

According to a report published by NetEase, Smith had US $1.06 million deducted from his salary over the course of the season for missing practices. Most of the missed practices came during pre-season while his team, Zhejiang Chouzhou, was getting ready for the start of the regular season. The sum was deducted from his salary, a final number that represented about one-third of his total salary.

The documentary, GOOSE, tells the story of Reece “Goose” Tatum, arguably one of the most influential athletes of all time, yet unknown to many basketball fans today. The film takes a look at Tatum, the leader of the Harlem Globetrotters from 1942-1954, who despite the segregated era, became the most well-known and highest paid athlete in the world. He possessed a rare combination of basketball talent and comedic genius and is credited with introducing the no-look pass and the no-look hook shot, as well as pioneering the concept of free agency when he walked away from the team at the peak of his fame.

The film includes interviews with Julius Erving, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Bill Cosby, Ernie Banks and more, and is narrated by Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker, 8 Mile). I’ve included the full press release below, and you can view the open to the film here: http://goosemovie.com/

Transportation is available my brothers……

TRANSPORTATION!!!

If you can’t make it rain in Orlando with the Almost Basketball Wives, maybe you can hang out with The Worm. I get the feeling this might be more fun.

Plus the Quad City DJs going to be there, so you know what that means.

If British heavyweight boxers put as much energy into fighting in the ring as they do outside of it perhaps one of them would be a world champion. After being outclassed by 40-year-old WBC Heavyweight Champion Vitali Klitschko by unanimous decision in Munich, Germany on Feb. 18, Britain’s Dereck Chisora and fellow countryman David Haye started a brawl in the post-fight press conference, resulting in death threats and a few bleeding faces.

The 28-year-old Chisora, who was born in Zimbabwe,  had already lost the respect of many boxing fans by slapping Klitschko at the weigh in and spitting water in the face of his opponent’s brother Wladimir Klitschko during the fight introductions in the ring. He was fined $50,000 for the slap and then punished by Klitschko during the fight and lost by scores of 119-111, 118-110, and 118-110. Klitschko even fought with a partially-torn left shoulder ligament which was confirmed by doctors after the bout.

Soon after, Chisora was interrupted by Haye in the press conference after Klitschko’s manager  Bernd Boente said Chisora at least challenged Klitschko in the ring and showed heart, unlike Haye. This was in reference to last year’s bout where Haye lost his WBA heavyweight title to IBO champion Wladimir Klitschko in July and barely threw a punch over the 12 rounds.

Chisora and Haye then jawed at each other and Chisora left the conference table and approached Haye, resulting in the melee. Chisora claimed Haye hit him with a glass bottle and then angrily threatened several times to shoot him. Adam Booth, Haye’s manager was bleeding from a head wound, and claimed Chisora had hit him with a glass.

Chisora and his trainer Don Charles were stopped at Munich airport when trying to leave for London  and taken to police headquarters in Munich, where they were questioned for seven hours. Haye had already fled the country by this time and was back in England. Frank Warren, Chisora’s promoter, said the incident was horrible, disgraceful, an embarrassment, and ugly and the two boxers were total idiots, but claimed Chisora didn’t throw the first punch. However, Dr. Thomas Putz, who is the Federation of German Professional Boxers’ president, said Haye acted in self-defence since Chisora attacked him.

German prosecutors said Chisora and Haye could both end up in prison since Haye is accused of grievous bodily harm, which could result in up to 10 years and Chisora could face up to five years in jail if found guilty of malicious injury. Both British boxers issued statements of apology through the press on Feb. 20, but this might not be enough to keep them out of jail or save their boxing careers.

Robert Smith of the British Boxing Board of Control said Chisora and Haye could both be banned for life from boxing in Britain. He admitted that Haye isn’t a licensed boxer at the moment since he retired after losing to Klitschko last year, but the board could just deny him a boxing license for the rest of his life if it chose to. Chisora is scheduled to meet with the board on March 14 to explain his actions.

Klitschko upped his record to 44-2 with 40 KOs with the win, while Chisora’s fell to 15-3 with nine 9 KOs. It was Chisora’s third loss in his last four bouts and one has to wonder how he earned the title shot against Klitschko in the first place.

This can’t be good for the Obama campaign right?

VC is a Cooler………..

He might be secretly working for the republican party, but if you have an extra $30k sitting around and possibly want to meet President Vince Carter has your hook up.

Vince Carter may be better-known for his scoring, but the NBA star and Mainland High School graduate will be looking to make an assist to President Barack Obama by hosting a fundraising dinner at his Windermere home during the NBA All-Star Weekend.

Cost of admission: $30,000.

Attorney John Morgan, a big Democratic Party fundraiser, is organizing the evening he described as “a once in a life time event,” in an email to invitees.

“The room will be filled with NBA hall of famers and future hall of famers and some musical superstars,” he said.

I wonder if VC will twist an ankle while getting his plate.

Wait…………

What…………

Hold on………

I know people are excited over Jeremy Lin, but call me crazy but I doubt a good Asian American Point Guard would overnight erase 300 years of racism.

For this I have to give CNN…………….

Tell them how you really feel Oak…..

Oakley has never been one to bite his tongue and what he is saying especially about Garnett has been echoed by many (including me as I have said KG is the biggest studio gangster in the league).

Oakley went on the Jim Rome show and dropped these bombs courtesy of Larry Brown Sports.

Garnett left Minnesota and hollered and screamed and all that but hes not a tough guy,” Oakley said as Sports Talk Network shared with us. “He’s one of the weakest guys to ever play the game. He’s a complimentary player and went to Paul Pierce’s team and won a championship. I wouldn’t consider him a top 10 tough guy.”

“Barkley, for his size, was a good player but he’s a coward,” Oakley continued. “He was a good player for his size, but he wasn’t a leader and wasn’t a role model. Now he talks so bad about younger guys. I don’t respect that from him. He’s a fraud. He can criticize all the younger kids and if he got something to say, call them and talk to them before you just blast them. He’s wants to be funny, that whole TNT thing and all that, they’re like some clowns on that show.”

I wouldn’t call KG a complimentary player.  Boston wasn’t winning anything until he and Jesus Shuttlesworth showed up, so he gets credit for that.

I totally agree on the fake tough guy stuff.

Those are some strong words against Barkley, who wasn’t a model citizen during or after his career (we remember the hooker Chuck).  I find TNT Inside the NBA funny, so if they are clowns they are humorous ones.

Oakley also spoke on fake tough guy Kendrick Perkins, but since he is irrelevant no need to even get into those quotes.
